[Design and Technology] sad news

Thu Aug 10 20:36:31 AEST 2017

That is very sad news. I worked with Foster at the old Hawthorn Institute and have seen
the significant contribution he has given to Design and Technology and education
generally, but more importantly he was a lovely, genuine man.

I would also like to add my personal gratitude - Foster was a mentor when I first started
teaching Product Design and a friend over the years... a wonderful man and teacher. He
will be missed

Hi Peter

I join with others in sending condolences to Foster's family, friends and colleagues. I
first met Foster at Hawthorn when he was a lecturer in the Grad Dip in Technology
Education. I appreciated his wisdom about new directions in design and technology
education as it emerged as a learning area from art, craft and 'trade-based' education in
the early 90's. Later, following the growth of the design and technology area through his
work at Trinity Grammar, I was astounded by the quality and innovation displayed in the
work of Foster's students at the college's end of year exhibition. I have many fond
memories of our discussions and greatly appreciated his honesty and warmth. 

RIP, Foster.

It is with great sadness that I advise of the passing of Foster Adem.

Foster was a much loved teacher, colleague and friend. He was an active DATTA member
bringing a wealth of experience from Industry and many schools including 16 years teacher
education at Hawthorn Institute of Education. Foster was instrumental in the growth and
development of the Design and Technology program at Trinity Grammar School over the last
16 years. He was an expert in his field and a superb mentor to students and staff alike.
He will be greatly missed.

Kind regards, Peter
